Most people we spoke to locally (not a scientific poll!) expected the Greens to do better than they did in Ealing. Still 5 more than they had this time last week though.

My bike was stolen from Ealing Broadway bike racks right under a CCTV camera - understand that the police can’t look at hours of footage for every theft. But how can I get access to the footage?

According to this projection, the Greens would be the biggest winners, going from 0-13 seats and becoming the second biggest party on the council. They would take all 3 seats in Hanwell Broadway and 2/3 in 4 other wards. Reform would win one seat, in Pitshanger.

Hanwell Blogs @hanwellblogs.bsky.social · 15/04/2026
Labour would retain control of the council with a reduced majority, losing 14 seats. The Conservatives would go from 4 to 2 seats. The Liberal Democrats would gain 4 seats but be replaced as the official opposition by the Greens.

Projection has the Greens winning all 3 seats in Hanwell Broadway and Northfield while taking 2/3 in Walpole. Lib Dems get an extra 3, Conservatives lose 1 and Reform gain 1. North Hanwell stays Labour.
